I became the emperor in the comic book series.

'...'

'I know this is difficult, but it's an order!'

After a long time, the other side sent a new photo, and Higashino Akira tilted his head back slightly after seeing it.

This child seems to be a bit dead!

'Great, Private First Class Poch, I knew you could be even cuter!'

On the other end of the messaging app, the pink-haired girl looked at the reply on her phone screen, and the gloomy expression on her face vanished instantly. She perked up immediately, hugging her phone and giggling as she rolled around on the tatami mat.

Then she saw the small figure standing quietly watching her from the doorway of her bedroom.

Erli sighed at her good-for-nothing older sister, and under Yili's horrified gaze, her mouth gradually opened wide, "Mom! My sister is holding her phone and grinning like an idiot again!"

"Erli! Baa yo—!!!"

Goto Ichiri hurriedly got up and reached out to her younger sister, who was shouting and running away, trying to stop her.

But before they could catch up, Erli had already fled far away, laughing.

Finished!

Just like before, I imagined myself being questioned by my parents at dinner, unable to bear the pressure and confessing, only to be stopped by them. Then my boyfriend would come to my parents' house and either physically persuade them or pull out stacks of bills from his pocket and say, "Your daughter, I've bought her!"

Either way, it looks pretty bad!

In an instant, Goto Ichiri was melted on the spot.

At dinner, at the Goto family's dining table, Ichiri watched his parents scrolling through their chat history on their phones, while he gazed at his younger sister with a wistful look.

"Oh, it's been a long time since I've seen Xiao Yili wear clothes like this. She's really cute!"

"Yes."

"My sister is so cute..."

Huh?!?

Goto Ichiri blinked, looking at her parents with a puzzled expression.

"mother?"

"Hmm?" The wife looked at her eldest daughter gently, her expression unchanged.

"I have a boyfriend!"

"Oh... this is the child, isn't he? He seems like a nice person."

The wife pretended to realize something, too embarrassed to expose her daughter's lie, afraid of hurting Xiao Yili's self-esteem.

What kind of relationship involves exchanging only three sentences with your boyfriend every day: good morning, good afternoon, and good night, with a selfie attached at the end? And there isn't even a single photo on his social media account. Xiao Yili is such a careless pretender.

On the other side, Ichiri was unaware that her parents didn't believe her at all. She thought she had staged a lie about her boyfriend. Hearing her mother's affirmation, she quickly shook her head and began to explain.

"Well, Higashino-kun isn't exactly a good kid, he has a lot of girlfriends... Oh no, no, no, Higashino-kun is actually quite nice, he doesn't mind me at all, he even compliments me on being cute, and he's never lied to me... It's just that..."

The parents exchanged a glance and sighed silently. They hadn't pressured the child at all, so why had she given herself away and started rambling incoherently?

Erli didn't understand much about the adults' inner thoughts. She just looked at her older sister with bright eyes and praised her loudly, "Sister is so cute!"

"Hehehe...no, no, Erli is even cuter!"

"cute!"

The simple thing was easily coaxed by her younger sister, who covered her mouth and laughed like an idiot.

The two adults smiled with satisfaction as they watched the two sisters getting along harmoniously. They even encouraged their eldest daughter, "Since Ichiri has feelings for her boyfriend, she should work hard to make him hers. It's not good for boys to be too fickle, but Ichiri's charm is limitless. She'll definitely be able to keep her boyfriend's eyes fixed on her alone."

"Me? Me!"

Hearing her mother's words, Ichiri's eyes widened. She suddenly remembered what Higashino-kun had said last time. Whether it was dealing with external matters or internal ones, she couldn't do it. If she had to do it alone...

Oysters oysters oysters! !

Guitar Hero shook his head wildly.

Someone like her, who only dares to hide at home and has no girlfriend charm or appeal, only dares to secretly share a little of other people's happiness, definitely couldn't possibly take it all!

And he might be disliked, targeted by his other girlfriends, and eventually dumped, dying alone and miserable like a neglected paramecium in a place unknown to anyone!

Just imagining this outcome made Ichiri feel dizzy and lightheaded, as if the world was spinning faster than usual.

...............

In Shimokitazawa, Akira Higashino first went to Miko's place to pick up Shoko, who had turned back into a kitten. Then he came here and saw the cow cat lying alone at the door. He opened the door and put her inside as well.

As soon as you step into the living room, the aroma wafting from the kitchen lingers in the air, making your mouth water.

Kawasaki Saki looked up at the person who came in, then lowered her head again to prepare the meal seriously.

"Wait a moment, dinner will be ready soon. There is hot water in the bathroom, you can take a shower first."

Shower or meal?

That's wrong!

Akira Higashino walked straight into the kitchen, pulled the cute, wife-like girl into his arms, and lowered his head to bite her delicate lips.

Kawasaki Saki gently pushed him, but it was no use. Slowly, she closed her eyes, her face flushed, and silently cooperated, her body gradually becoming hot.

After a long while, they parted their lips.

The girl opened her eyes again, her gaze wet and somewhat resentful.

"Stop fooling around, I'm cooking."

She spoke with a soft, coy tone, as if she were trying to win him over, giving the impression that she was easy to bully.

Higashino Akira couldn't resist giving her another mischievous kiss.

"Today's Kawasaki is corn and pork rib soup flavored, it smells so good."

Stupid!

Kawasaki Saki glared at the clueless, mood-ruining girl, then puffed out her cheeks. "I'm cooking, so I'm bound to smell like food. I told you to stop messing around."

"I don't want to eat, let's go take a shower together."

"No, not eating is bad for your health!"

Seeing the girl's serious expression, Higashino Akira chuckled and teased her, "Okay, Saki's mom."

嗚…

A lovely, mournful cry, and the blush on the girl's face spoke louder than any sweet words.

This person is really something.

Shameless.

"I'll cook for you."

"No need, it'll be ready soon."

"I want to help you."

"What exactly do you want to help me with?!" Feeling the short sword pressed against her from behind, Kawasaki Saki's voice trembled with embarrassment.

"Cook...a meal."

Suddenly startled, the girl let out a soft moan, expertly turning off the gas stove to a low flame. She then moved a little to the cutting area, pursing her lips, tilting her slender, fair neck back slightly, her gaze unfocused, occasionally letting out a few soft, intermittent hums, exuding charm and captivating purity.

P.S.: I'm 14 chapters short, still working on it. I saw some readers asking for the QQ group number in the comments, so here it is again: 1085672997

Chapter Eighty: It's my turn to bite back!

A long and meticulous academic exchange conference on flower arrangement techniques has concluded.

Higashino Akira was furious. He carried the now limp Kawasaki Saki into the bathroom. After washing each other, he took the initiative to use a hairdryer to dry her hair. When they came out, the originally scalding hot soup had cooled down.

The meal was peaceful and warm, with the two people and the two cats each eating their own food.

Perhaps it was because they had waited a long time, or perhaps it was because Saki Kawasaki's cooking skills were indeed quite good, but Shoko Toyokawa and Yukino Yukinoshita were eating with great gusto.

After finishing dinner and cleaning up the dishes, Kawasaki Saki came to the living room and sat on the sofa to watch TV with Higashino Akira. Since Higashino Akira didn't like watching TV anyway, he didn't stand on ceremony and lay down, resting his head on the girl's round and plump thighs, enjoying the beautiful girl's lap pillow service accompanied by the faint fragrance on her body.

Kawasaki Saki indulged him, gently reaching out to massage the acupoints on his head to relax him, humming an unknown tune softly, her gaze seemingly fixed on the television.

"Kawasaki."

"Ok?"

"You're so good to me, I might fall even more in love with you."

Kawasaki Saki gently pinched his cheek.

Stop him from saying strange things.

But who is Akira Higashino? His main theme is rebellion!

He rolled over, turned face down, and secretly blew a breath.

Then, his head was picked up by a little girl with a red face and puffed-up cheeks, preventing him from lying down again.

Akira Higashino loved seeing the shy expressions of beautiful girls. Since the lap pillow was gone, he simply sat up and reached out to pull the beautiful girl into his arms.

Kawasaki Saki silently cooperated with his actions, leaning her body against him.

The two remained silent for a long time. As for the television, neither of them really liked watching it or had any interest in it; it was just a background element.

Kawasaki Saki deliberately changed the subject, glancing at the two cats on the sofa next door. One of them, having eaten and drunk its fill, lay back like a person, its two front paws neatly tucked up on its belly. She recognized this cat; she had seen it before.

The other one is a black and white calico cat. Its resting posture is very feline. It lies down obediently with its paws under its body and its tail wrapped around its body halfway down to cover its eyes.

"You've got another cat. You really like cats?"

"They're alright, but they're different; they're not ordinary kittens."

"Indeed, it just feels like they're a bit too smart and obedient. Before, when we were in the kitchen, they seemed a little shy and avoided us. And when I got close to them, my cat allergy symptoms didn't flare up."

Kawasaki Saki looked at the little blue kitten. "I was fine with it before, even holding it. I thought I was no longer allergic to cats. But after interacting with other cats, I found that it was the same. I just wasn't allergic to it."

Upon hearing this, Akira Higashino nodded, seemingly pondering Saki Kawasaki's words seriously, and proposed a hypothesis: "Is it possible that they are actually genuine beautiful girls, but after encountering a strange god, they changed into their current form by some twist of fate?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kawasaki Saki gave him a look that said "you're an idiot."

Although I know that guys always have some strange fantasies, such as a beautiful girl falling in love with them, or their pet cat turning into a human to repay a debt of gratitude, those are thoughts that only introverted guys who have never been in a relationship would have.

This idiot usually acts like a cold, rational, and mature social being, but I never expected him to have such unrealistic fantasies.

Even the most mature guys can be childish at times.

"By the way, today is a school day, and tomorrow isn't the weekend, so why did you suddenly decide to come here on your own initiative?"

"Well..."

Kawasaki Saki subconsciously scratched her cheek, too embarrassed to say that she had seen a news article on social media that her classmate had shared, and knew that his company had run into trouble. She was worried that he would be too affected and came over because she thought he might come back here.

"Didn't you tell me to come here regularly when I have time to clean up so the house doesn't get dusty?"

The girl said this, her back to him, her gaze unfocused.

Oh no, I'm starting to feel tempted.

Saki Kawasaki might be the woman who could become my mother!

It's starting to feel like it!

Suddenly feeling like she was being held back by a thorn in her side, the girl jumped up and fled towards her bedroom, her face flushed.

"Well... it's getting late, and I have to go back to school tomorrow, so I'm going to rest now."

Higashino Akira turned off the TV and the living room lights as well.

If it weren't for the beautiful girls around, who would want to watch this lousy TV program, especially since it's not even late at night?

In the bedroom, Akira Higashino then discovered that, at some point, Saki Kawasaki had changed all the sheets, duvet covers, and pillowcases.

He looked intently at the girl's face, but she didn't respond in any way.

Kawasaki Saki clearly noticed something different, such as the different scents in the room and the different colored hair on the pillow. However, she didn't know what stance or perspective to take in expressing her opinion. In the end, although she felt a little uncomfortable, all she could do was change the fabric that bore the marks of another woman and pretend she didn't know anything.

As night deepened, the master bedroom was pitch black.
